Vocal Effects

Hecate · 10th October 2005, 11:45 PM

Can anyone give advice for our singer please? He is wondering if there are any good vocal effects boards or pedals, or does everyone just use the vocal effects built into a PA amp?

Are you suggesting a guitar or vocal pedal? What make do you suggest?

the pod is pretty good for distorting vocals live, also has delay and reverb on it. its not designed for use with a mic, but would probably work quite well if you wanted distortion without the screaming feedback you'd get from a guitar stomp box. I would use 2 mics one for unprocessed, one for processed and switch mics when you want the crazy fx.

like a metal zone guitar pedal just a guitar overdrive or distortion could get a really cheap one in cash converters in dundee i did

boss or digitech i agree the pod works well i know the pod live works well for it i would have let u use it but someone coughed up enough cash for me to sell it ch ching

i wouldnt buy a metal zone, it'll just give you screaming feedback.

i suppose but they may have a noise gate on whatever they put the mic through?
